In the lip syncing tutorial two methods are demonstrated. However switch layers can also be used anywhere you want to combine frame by frame animation with key frame animation. Probably their most common use is in lip syncing where the mouth is switch between different versions to match the sound of the words being spoken. The Switch Layer tutorial shows how to set up switch layers and gives examples of how they might be used. I used the audio recorder to voice my Alvin the Owl character (which I animated in the previous post). I don't think this is essential but it makes sense from an organizational standpoint. If you want your audio to be a voice for a character you can move the audio layer into your character's Bone layer folder. The sound is then added as an audio layer. Recording your voice is fairly straight forward, press the record button, speak into your microphone, review the result, adjust the pitch if you wish, then add the audio to your project. Since Moho's tool has a Pitch Shifting slider it's clear the intention is to be a quick way to record character voices. It's pretty limited so if you want to do more with your sounds you can use your own audio recording software and import the results into the project. Moho allows you to record any audio into your project through a dedicate recording window. Why they didn't just call this tutorial 'Audio Recording' is a mystery since that's the name of the feature it describes and is much clearer in terms of describing the subject. The next three videos are more interesting, covering, Integrated Audio, Lip Syncing and the Character Wizard. All things to be aware of but not really a stretch to understand. The first six cover mostly features of the User interface, such as the Help Menu, Preferences, Project Tabs, Creating Shortcut keys and a detailed look at how frame zero works on the timeline sequencer. If you have the same tutorials I'll give you what I think is the ideal viewing order, possibly in my next post.įor now, I've only worked through ten of the twenty six videos in what I feel is a logical order, building upon what I've already learned. I'm attempting to sort them into a logical order as I go. Like the Debut video tutorials the videos are not sorted into any logical order, making it extremely hard to know where to start and then what video to move onto next. After learning the basics of Moho Pro 12 from SmithMicro's 15 Anime Studio Debut video tutorials in Part 2, I'm now moving on to the 26 video tutorials that cover features in both the Debut and Pro versions of Anime Studio (if you're wondering, these video tutorials are just rebadged Anime Studio tutorials included with my Moho 12 Pro purchase).
